Opis: Political Lessons of the Rebellion - Paine Levi L.

Excerpt from Political Lessons of the Rebellion: A Sermon Delivered at Farmington, Connecticut, on Fast Day, April 18, 1862

Deuteronomy xxxii: 45 - 47. And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: and he said unto them, set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

Joshua vii: 13. Up, sanctity the people and say, sanctify yourselves against to-morrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, there is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel! thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

Nehemiah ix: 33. Howbeit, thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly.

The thrilling events now transpiring in our country are adding fresh illustration and clearness to the teachings of the Old Testament. In times of long-continued peace and public tranquillity, the precepts of the New Testament seem more in accordance with true Christian feeling and experience. To Christians thus tenderly and peacefully educated, the fierce warfare waged by Joshua against the Canaanites, the warlike hymns of David, and the terrible denunciations of Isaiah and Ezekiel, appear to exhibit little of the spirit of true religion, and less of the spirit of Christianity. But the stern necessities imposed upon our nation by a wicked and powerful rebellion, have done much to change the current of Christian devotion, and have shed a new light and interest on the dealings of God with his chosen people, Israel. Christians begin to understand how the wars of Joshua and the imprecatory psalms of David can properly belong to the Bible.
